Virtuallly ALL of my Speeder Bikes are the Hasbro POTF II version.And they escaped the flood un-damaged.

However I DO have six vintage Kenner bikes that ALL lost their boxes.

Now they will be stored in boxes with this design. I'm actually kinda GLAD about it too. I always found Kenner's original designs VERY silly. I mean, what is Chief Chirpa doing there? Asking the Biker Scout for a friggin' ride?

Darklord, that really sucks, what happened to your home and collection

But those designs you've made are excellent! I especially like the designs of the starfighters (X-Wing, Y-Wing, TIE Interceptor) and the Tri-pod cannon, radar cannon and Snowspeeder. But the rest are just as cool. How long did it take you to make all of these?!

So sorry to hear about the flood, but those new boxes are better by far. You have got to get pix of your collection in all its glory when you are done. It sounds like you have one impressive collection.

As for insurance, I had a close call recently myself. I live in an apartment, and a few weeks ago there was a fire in one of the units in the building next to mine. Apparently that unit wound up totally destroyed, and there was fire and water damage to another couple of apartments. There was some concern as to whether or not the fire had spread to other buildings, and the fire department made their way into my place. Thankfully there had been no spread, especially since there is a firewall between my building and the building where the fire was.

But this was a major reality check. So much so that I made my way to my insurance company and got my place insured. I made certain that they would cover my collection here as well as at my storage unit. It's about $300 a year, but the peace of mind that I have now regarding my collection is considerable. And when you compare that cost to what we've spent over the years for our collections, it's almost insignifigant.

Roberto, these are all fantastic! I know full well all about flooding, since last year the smelly waters of Lake Pontchartrain entered my collection room (due to Hurricane Katrina) about a foot and a half deep, destroying a few dioramas. I've learned my lesson since then though!

Those package designs look great and look alot better than the originals and the window boxes.Please post some pics of the actual boxes when you make them I'd really like ot see them as I'm sure would lots of other people.
